Tried Pinnacle body shampoo
Well I finally got the Pinnacle car shampoo and although it really smells nice and costs $18 for a small bottle, it still took away that silky feel from my freshly waxed car 
Does anyone know of a wash that trluly won't take away that smooth feeling of a waxing after washed? I've tried the following washes so far:
Pinnacle
Kit Wash w/ Carnuba
Meguire's Gold Class
Tutrle-Wax Wash
Rain-X with Carnuba Beads
I'm getting temped to break out the baby shampoo

Try Zymol
Seems to work the best for me.Still leaves a silky fee,and the water always beeds as if the car was just waxed,lots of tiny little beeds.It also smells awesome and cleans very well.
That RainX with the carnuba beeds looks cool,you didn't like it at all?Tell me about it.....

I don't think there is a body shampoo that keeps the silky feel of wax after washing. I just wax after every wash. Maybe you could try doing some sort of quick spray wax to get that silky feeling back...the rest of the wax is still under there- even though it doesn't feel like it.

The labels on most of these products say that they will clean major road grime grease etc and not strip wax, but they've all taken away the feel I love after a waxing no matter what wax I've used. I guess in order to remove road grime etc how can they not remove some of the oils from the wax? I would use just plain water on my silver cars (providing the car was only lightly dirty) and never had to worry about fine scratches showing but on my new black car I need the lubrication from the suds/oils in car shampoos to guard against scratches. I really just need a product that's extra extra mild as my car never gets really that dirty.

RJC, a few things you have to understand. You are probably feeling it right after washing. Hose water is usually very cold and your hands are usually sweaty and clammy after washing. This will make it feel like your hands are dragging on the paint. Second, you shouldn't be touching your paint anyway! You want finger prints/smudge marks on your clean black car!!! not me! Even worse when a slight film of dust gets on it, you touch the car and it will be instantly scratched. I think you should try Zaino, it leaves the finish incredibly slick and will last much longer than that mothers stuff. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Also leave it in the sun for an hour or so after washing, then feel the paint. Should feel smoother.

I did get a special bottle (brand new formula) of their Soveriegn wax from them, stuff smells like a brandy alexander...MMMMM BBRAANNDDYY (that's for ajayz). The gentleman I spoke to at Pinnacle was very helpful and was a pleasure to deal with, can't wait to try this wax
